longstockings Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 Hello I haven't used Oscommerce for a few years now and now I have a project where I think Oscommerce would be a better option that Zencart I need a few pointers. I'm developing a shop that sells fudge and would appreciate some recommendations on what add-ons would make a great site. Which template system is best ? Is there a free template I can base my design around that does not look like stock ? What are the best community made free add-ons that no Internet shop keeper should be without ? I espescially want Image Handler - additioal images and auto resizing etc Purchase Without Account Froogle Feeder I also require attribute stock and the option for customers to add a personal message on the product page Is all this possible ? I just haven't got the time to wait for Oscommerce version 3 to be released but it does look promising Many Thanks
natewlew Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 I wouldn't use a template for speed reasons but that is up to you. There are free templates but I am not sure where. Your three contributions are good. One I would recommend is Master Products. If you have a lot attributes it is nice to have. I am not sure how you would have a personal message on the product page. I heard this request a lot. There needs to be a contribution for customer defined attributes. Yes, this could be done. Other great Open Source (Free) programs: (Free as in free speech not free beer) The Gimp - An image program. | Firefox - All you have to do is add the Web Developer add-on to make this web browser complete. | FileZilla - An ftp program. | Inkscape - A good program to create images with. | Thunderbird - An email program. | Openoffice.org - An office suite that is compatible with MS Office. | Abiword - Another office suite. | Audacity - A sound recording tool. | ddp's Picks | Wordpress - An easy to use blogging software. | Joomla - An easy to use CMS that has ecommerce plug-ins. | Drupal - Another CMS How do I find these programs? Google Search!
